Chapter 139: Killing Han Sui (3)
The owner of this manor is the brother of the leader of the Xianlingqiang tribe. And this first Lingqiang has a close relationship with the old Qiang king of Baimaqiang, so Ma Chao was able to ambush here.
At first, Ma Chao ambushed here in order to take this place in advance and provide an outpost for Ma Teng to capture Wuwei, but he never thought that he had just come in with a thousand elite string control men in an ambush less than a day after hearing the news that Han Sui had personally set out on an expedition, and his men and horses were scarce, and he did not dare to act rashly, and he did not dare to contact Ma Teng, for fear of leaking the news.
Therefore, until now, Han Sui, including Ma Teng and others, thought that Ma Chao was still wandering around Jincheng County, but they didn't know that when he made the golden cicada come out of his shell, he ordered others to disguise himself as himself, and he himself lurked under Han Sui's nose.
However, it can be regarded as a mistake, and if you take Cangsong County in this case, the role will be even more significant.
Ma Chao led a thousand people who had already prepared to attack quickly, and took down all the hundreds of county soldiers in the county in less than an hour, because during the war, Cangsong County originally had 2,000 county soldiers stationed, but Han Sui took most of the county soldiers away because he wanted to fight a decisive battle with Ma Teng.
In Han Sui's view, the decisive battle is only a few miles away from the county seat, and it is the best policy to use superior forces to quickly eliminate Ma Teng.
This is cheap Ma Chao, a thousand elite string controllers will take Cangsong County in just one meal.
After Ma Chao ordered the troops to take the county order and all the captured county soldiers into custody, he was about to leave, when he suddenly received a report that the county commander asked to see Ma Chao, saying that he had an old relationship with the Ma family.
Ma Chao was in a hurry to rescue his father at this time, and he had time to pay attention to this, and hurriedly explained that he should not be treated badly after taking care of his good life, and then left.
But on Ma Teng's side, after two or three successive confrontations between the two sides, the advantage of the greedy wolf iron cavalry became more and more obvious, and the morale was like a rainbow, although more than 3,000 horses were lost, but nearly 10,000 horses in the Xiliang army were buried here.
The battle situation has gradually entered a white-hot state, and at this moment it is the time to test the willpower of both sides, the weapons in their hands are still getting heavier and heavier, and the war horses are also beginning to pant, but both sides have already killed their blood at this moment, and it is not enough to calm the anger in their hearts without destroying the enemy in front of them.
Han Sui saw a cold sweat from a distance, he didn't expect that the difference in number would be eliminated in an hour's effort, he already had the idea of retreating at this moment, but he also understood that if he really ordered this, let alone what would happen to the Bingzhou army led by Ma Teng, I am afraid that the first thing he led this group of Xiliang soldiers would be to eat themselves alive.
Xiliang's warriors are brave in killing, and most of them are also unruly, especially when they are killed, if anyone wants to stop him, he is the enemy, even if he is his own commander, this is also because Han Wenyue himself is not known for commanding troops, and the soldiers below are not convinced of him from the bottom of their hearts.
If the main general is replaced by Dong Zhuo, Hua Xiong, Xu Rong and others, then the result will be completely different.
Therefore, Han Sui could only grit his teeth and continue to hold on here at this time, and he also hoped that Fan Chou and others could send reinforcements, although he also knew that it was almost impossible.
Just when everyone near the battlefield was focusing on the two armies fighting desperately on the battlefield, suddenly a cavalry force of about 1,000 people quickly approached here in the direction of Cangsong County.
Ma Chao quickly approached the battlefield with nearly a thousand string controllers, and the string controllers behind him were all dressed in the costumes of the Han Dynasty army at the moment, so he didn't need to hide deliberately at all, even if he was discovered, the other party might think that it was the people who came to support.
In the distance, they saw the figure of Han Sui surrounded by a thousand guards on the periphery of the battlefield.
Ma Chao tightened the tiger head Zhan golden gun in his hand, and slammed the horse's belly hard, and Li Feisha suddenly increased his speed again.
Seeing this, the people behind him also sped up their speed and followed closely behind Ma Chao.
Just when the two sides were hundreds of steps away, Ma Chao and the others were finally discovered, but the other party obviously couldn't tell the difference, because Ma Chao's nearly 1,000 people and horses were all exactly the same as their own.
A junior colonel turned his horse's head and walked towards Ma Chao and the others, waving his hand and shouting: "Who's the people, stop quickly." Lord Han is here, you must not be rude......"
Before he could finish speaking, a sharp arrow suddenly pierced his throat, and he stared wide and dropped his horse on his back, not knowing why his own reinforcements would suddenly move before he died.
Ma Chao raised the tiger head Zhan golden gun in his hand obliquely, and said with a spring thunder in his tongue: "Xiliang Ma Chao is here!" Han Sui's old man is coming soon! ”
This change suddenly startled Han Sui and the others, and when his guards reacted, a large rain of arrows fell down.
Then there was a series of screams, although the people who controlled the strings were not equipped with the cavalry Sanbao of the state army, they were all the most elite Qiang warriors, and riding and archery itself was what they were best at, so this rain of arrows alone shot nearly 100 of Han Sui's personal guards.
Ma Chao got close, and the tiger head Zhan golden gun in his hand pulled out a few spear flowers, like a hidden dragon Tengyuan, and immediately killed several of Han Sui's personal guards, Ma Chao's name is well-known in Xiliang, and even more famous than the world-famous flying general Lu Bu after the first battle of the Tiger Prison.
This is mainly because Ma Chao was born and raised here, and he has rarely met opponents since he was a child, so Ma Chao's identity, coupled with the preemptive strike, immediately shocked Han Sui's personal guards.
It is not a mediocre person to be able to become the personal guard of the main general, but in front of Ma Chao's bravery, these elite soldiers are cut and chopped vegetables.
Han Sui was terrified when he heard Ma Chao's roar, and when he saw that Ma Chao himself was only a few dozen steps away from him, he suddenly turned around and ran away, where was there still a bit of usual calmness.
The commotion on Han Sui's side of the formation immediately attracted the attention of the battlefield below. Although Ma Teng and the others wondered where this team came from, it did not prevent them from seizing the great opportunity at this time and rushing to kill.
The Xiliang cavalry has always been at a disadvantage, and the brave battle before was just because of the bloody upsurge, but at this time, there was a riot at the main general, and Han Sui himself fled in the wilderness, and that little bit of blood suddenly disappeared at this moment, and the troops immediately collapsed.
Ma Teng, Pang De, and Ma Xiu chased after each other, just like three tigers descending from the mountain, especially Ma Xiu, although it was the first time to participate in such a large-scale battle, but not only did not have any fear, but on the contrary, it was more of a feeling of excitement and excitement.
Sure enough, this family is all militants, and the genes of fighting exist in their blood, after such a long time of fierce fighting, the soldiers of the greedy wolf iron cavalry are also very tired, but the changes in Han Sui's own formation immediately injected a shot in the arm for them.
Muster up the last strength to chase down the fleeing enemy. To use a famous poem of later generations to describe it, it is "It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to become famous and learn from the overlord." "This is not the time for courtesy and kindness with the enemy.
After all, Ma Chao's Li Feisha's speed is much faster, although Han Sui's war horse under his crotch is also a good horse from Wusun Kingdom, but he was still caught up by Li Feisha in a few breaths, along the way, Han Sui's personal guards were almost unable to hinder Ma Chao for half a point, and Han Sui didn't even dare to turn back at this time.
It was only a little more than a zhang away from Han Sui, and the tiger head Zhan golden spear in Ma Chao's hand stabbed out, and the sharp blade of the spear brought a gust of wind and attacked Han Sui's heart.
Immediately stabbed Han Sui on the horse, Ma Chao suddenly shouted loudly: "The thief chief is dead, wait until you surrender, when will you wait!" ”
The scene where Han Sui was killed by one blow was seen by many people, and Han Sui's personal guards immediately dispersed, and only a few of them were still resisting.
Nearly a thousand people who controlled the strings shouted in unison at this time: "General Shenwei Tian! General Kamuiten! ”
The deafening sound immediately reached the battlefield not far away.
When Matthew heard this voice, he was immediately overjoyed and said, "Father, father! It's big brother! The eldest brother came, and he killed Han Sui, the old thief! ”
"Hahahaha! My son is brave! Ma Teng was also overjoyed, Ma Chao sneaked into Cangsong and didn't even receive the news from Ma Teng, although he knew that Ma Chao would come to support him, but he didn't expect to appear here at all.
Ma Teng looked around and shouted: "The thief chief is dead, and those who descend will not be killed!" ”
As soon as this sentence came out, many Xiliang cavalry who couldn't escape threw down their weapons, jumped off their horses and knelt down to surrender, and the greedy wolf cavalry also let these warriors who had surrendered one after another, chasing and killing those distant enemies.
Ma Teng and the others rushed to Cangsong County after cleaning up the battlefield, and the large army and prisoners were placed outside the county seat, and only a few hundred people entered the county seat.
Although this battle was victorious, the losses of the greedy wolf cavalry were not small, and the 30,000 soldiers were killed and wounded in this battle with nearly 5,000 people, which can be said to be the heaviest loss of the greedy wolf cavalry in addition to the decisive battle with Helian.
Of course, the gains of this battle were also very huge, first of all, Han Sui was killed, and the 40,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry he led suffered 13,000 casualties, more than 5,000 escaped, and the number of prisoners was as many as 20,000.
Ma Chao told Ma Teng about coming here, and then suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly ordered his relatives to bring the county order of Cangsong County.
"Father, this person said that he was an old friend of our family." Ma Chao explained.
"Friends? Do you know? ”
"The child didn't know about it, so he was in a hurry to help, so he was taken into custody first."
Ma Teng nodded, although Ma Chao's move was a little impolite in that situation at that time, it was also reasonable, so he didn't say much.
Just as everyone was silent, a thin figure walked into the main hall.
Ma Teng turned his head to look, and suddenly a happy color appeared on his face: "Jiang Tong!?" ”
The person who came was a middle-aged scribe, with a thin figure and a somewhat ordinary appearance, but his eyes were bright, and he said with a wry smile on his face: "Little nephew Jiang Tong has seen Uncle Ma!" ”
Ma Teng hurriedly stepped forward to grab Jiang Tong and said to Ma Chao: "Chao'er, this is Jiang Tong, the son of Uncle Jiang of Tianshui. Then he turned around and explained to Jiang Tong: "This is really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, nephew, I really can't help it." ”
